‘Diagnostic marking' is akin to a Doctor’s diagnosis; so Assessing/Checking a piece of work (just like looking at the evidence to decide what's wrong with you) & planning the prescription or treatment, so 'How to improve/ reach the next level' etc.

Books should show a learning journey – an ongoing learning dialogue between the teacher and the student (illustrating the impact of learning over time).What is it?Slide4

Top 10 Tips for Diagnostic Marking:Targets can be questions, corrections, extension questions or asking a student to improve a section. (These should be responded to)Give time in lessons if possible for students to respond to targets given (or at least to begin the process).Give differentiated tasks as an outcome of diagnostic marking.

Marking Collaboration:Proposal: For each departments to have a marking collaboration every term – one key stage per term.Slide21

Reverse horse shoe forum- give status to feedback sessions. Creates different mood- change layout of classroom. Pupils sit on inside (

indep work while waiting) teacher circulates around edge.

Delayed Feedback

(can be used after 4x4)

Pupils receive their feedback in a sealed envelope.

Triple Impact Marking

1. Student/peer proofreads work and highlights where they have met SC.

2. The teacher corrects errors and asks Qs about the students’ work: How could you…? Why might…? & sets a task which will require students to act on the feedback

ie

.

rewrite 2nd para ensuring that you…

3. Student answers the Qs and completes tasks using the feedback

Menu of Feed Forward Tasks

-

Pupils choose from:

annotate 2 changes you would make and say

why, rewrite a section, look again at SC 1-4

now add these to your work, make 6 changes

to your vocab choices, provide another

example

Recorded Verbal Feedback

Discussion with pupils about their work. Pupil makes notes about the discussion then teacher dates and verifies it.

4x4 Feedback

-

explore anonymous piece of work, pupils guess feedback that would go with it, model how to improve it (

inc

pupils), invite learners to do the same with their own work

DIRT

-

(Dedicated Improvement and Reflection Time)-

plan discrete feedback sessions as a buffer. Set task

or question for pupils to answer.

Pupil Led Feedback

Pupils signal where they want the teacher to provide feedback. Teacher also makes prof judgement about any mistakes pupils have missed (can form part of a feedback discussion)

How are we doing display

Link classroom display to feedback- large scale

display of SC- e.g. place sticky notes next to it.

Keeps learning live between lessons and

demos progress over time

Diamond 9 Activity- Written and Verbal Feedback

Rank in order of how effectively the approach promotes independent pupil learning on the ranking template
